We all love to travel, see new places and have new experiences. And of course we must look and feel our best while taking on any adventure, especially if you’re traveling for business. But whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, you never know who you might meet, and first impressions are always important. With that being said, taking our personal hygiene products with us on our travels is very necessary. But with some products, especially aerosols, we must be sure that we are traveling safe.

Airline Travel Regulations for Aerosols

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has completely banned all aerosol products in both carry-on and checked baggage with the exception of aerosol toiletries such as hairspray or mousse. According to USA Today, the TSA has allowed air travel passengers to bring aerosol hygiene products on a plane in limited quantities only. The TSA has not set an exact legal amount, however packing a suitcase full of aerosol hairsprays will not fly.

Aerosols Traveling by Car

Keeping aerosols in your vehicle can be extremely dangerous. When kept in overheated conditions, aerosols can turn into explosives. If traveling by car, especially during the hot summer months, the best way to avoid possible explosions is to steer clear of bringing aerosol products into the car at all. For your safety it is best to buy any necessary aerosol toiletry items in travel sizes when you arrive at your destination. If you do not use all of your travel size aerosol products, do not save them. Dispose of them properly before packing your car to go home.
